When I say that Harry Belafonte has been a presence in my entire life since birth straight through to last month, when he passed on at the age of 96, I am not exaggerating. My parents played the double LP recording of his 1959 Carnegie Hall concerts frequently (their copy remains in my collection to this day), and so I learned not only Harry's repertoire but a basic group of folk songs from regions across the globe.
So cool that you got to see this legend in person!
